That's probably why i started to feel rather down once i heard people talking about today's solar eclipse, for the very reason that i knew nothing about it until this morning, when typically somehow i'd have found out about such impending events at least the day before, something that i can only attribute to having so much of my time occupied primarily by work matters. While since i've started working i'd be able to squeeze out enough time from at least one work day a week to at least have a quick browse of the day's (hardcopy) newspaper, i realise that it must have been close to a month since i've read anything from the papers. Usually i'd be able to get by with online news, but the fact that i missed out on something that significant shows that i've really been out of touch. And just like that i plunged into one of my sudden (but thankfully relatively short-lived) emo moods
Added to that, through other occurrences today, i've also been thinking more about the way i'm wired and how it's not best suited to quite a fair proportion of the things that are expected nowadays. It is true that somehow, things will work out, but it is nevertheless far from being a pleasant reality to try to come to terms with. From time to time, i think i have, but then once the right trigger comes around, that sinking feeling comes back with a vengeance (but once again, thankfully such feelings are relatively short-lived).
So that's the current state of affairs. Distressing to an extent, yes, but nothing agonizing unnecessarily and losing sleep over (anyway i'm so sleepy nowadays that it's hard to stay awake after any more than a couple of minutes with my head on the pillow). And indeed, somehow, things will work out, by God's grace :)
